Here is a review of Avin Weinberg’s auto biographical account of the development of nuclear reactors during what he called the first nuclear era. It is a very informative book, and anyone who wants to have information rather than just opinions on nuclear power should read it. http://www.aquacraft.com/2019/04/26/book-review-the-first-nuclear-era/review-of-the-first-nuclear-era-1-2/
Over 100 persons gathered in St. Louis on August 21 and 22, 2017 to listen to papers and discuss the advances in the development of advanced Molten Salt Reactors, and how these devices can be the basis for a true carbon free energy system (as opposed to the pseudo carbon free system offered by wind […]
These are the slides from the presentation of April 20, 2017 on use of MSRs to supply non-carbon based power for the City’s energy future. We have made some modifications to help clarify that molten salt reactors are a type of reactor, of which there are many proposed configurations. Some of these rely on burning […]
This letter to the Boulder Daily Camera was published on February 26, 2017. In it we are arguing that Boulder Colorado should include the option of converting the existing power plant that serves the City from a coal/gas plant to advanced nuclear, using molten salt reactor technology.
On Sunday February 19, 2017 the NYT published two stories that were weirdly related. One was on the death of the U.S. Nuclear Power industry, and the other was on the death of Mexico City due to lack of drinking water and their horrible dysfunction with wastewater management. We wrote this letter to the editor […]
This short paper argues that the real problem with nuclear power is that the dominant fuel cycle based on low enriched uranium 235/238 is the source of most of our problems with nuclear proliferation. If we switch from the Uranium/Plutonium fuel cycle to the Thorium/Uranium cycle, which for all practical purposes produces no weapons materials, […]
There are two major resources being wasted in the South Platter River basin: reusable return flows and heat from power plants. There are currently an avearge of over 800,000 AF of water leaving Colorado at the State line, much of which could be reused. There are also power plants with total output of 2000 MW […]
The Kingdom of Jordan could be the first country in the world to obtain all of its water and power from advanced molten salt reactors. There is an acute shortage of both water and power in the Kingdom to support the current population of over 9.5 million persons. If the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission were […]
Here is a good article that explains what a molten salt reactor is (MSR), and how these devices could lead to a revival of nuclear power for production of both electricity and distilled water. The waste heat from every MW of electrical energy output can typically be used to generate 0.1 million gallons per day […]
